OK, the computer program was the missing link for me. I must have missed any previous explaination of this, I did not realize there were italicized ground loss numbers until you just mentioned it. Thanks for clarifying it.

Are the variants you make for the "satelite" tracks also done with an alternate method? Or is it the same method used for evaluating track speed at all the other tracks? The only reason I ask is, if you take beulah as an example the amount of mositure can change drastically from day to day during the winter meaning there are some pretty inconsistent track speeds.

Sorry to be so picky, but as a customer I like to know whether or not the figure I have bought is an exact figure or an "about" figure. I'm glad you do take a stab at these lesser figures, I'm just trying to better understand how accurate they are before using them so I can make appropriate adjustments. Many of these ohio horses show up at Turfway and Mountaineer. Thanks again...
